Leopards Leap Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2023

A modern interpretation of Burgundy’s best. Bursts of fresh red fruits, grapefruit, with tropical-like aromas on the nose beautifully complemented by delicious pomegranate aromas nuances. A lively combination of acidity and fruitiness make for a fresh mouthfeel. The palate reveals fresh citrusy grapefruit and red-fruit flavours of cranberry and pomegranate.

The perfect aperitif and a versatile food companion to duck, Mediterranean cuisine, sushi and an array of soft cheeses.

AWARDS

2023 Ultra Value Wine Challenge - Double Gold

in the vineyard : The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes originate from the Robertson area and a portion of the Pinot Noir is also from the cool West Coast town of Lutzville.

about the harvest: Both varieties were picked between 21° and 23° Balling.

in the cellar : Vinified separately, the two varieties were bunch-sorted and whole-bunch pressed for a softer extraction to ensure a fresher style of wine. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were fermented at 12°C. Both varieties were left on the lees for 6 weeks to ensure flavour intensity and structural elegance. The two varieties were blended, settled and bottled prior to release.
